Steve King: Build The Wall, Starve The Poor

Steve King is gross. Cenk Uygur as well as Ana Kasparian, the hosts of The Young Turks, inform you how he intends to money Trump's border wall. Inform us what you assume in the comment area below.

" Rep. Steve King (R-IA) claims he would take loan from Planned Being a parent and SNAP to spend for President Trump's proposed border wall surface."

" Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) is requiring using government funding for Planned Parent as well as food stamps in order to help pay for Head of state Trump's southerly border wall surface, the Washington Supervisor reported Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the House Appropriations Committee presented a spending expense that would allocate $1.6 billion toward developing the wall dividing the United States from Mexico. The financing belongs to the total $13.8 billion for Personalizeds and Boundary Protection.

King said he supports the investing measure, yet he would like an added $5 billion for the wall– and also suggested taking the added funding from Planned Being a parent and also federal well-being programs.

" I would discover fifty percent of a billion bucks of that right from Planned Being a parent's budget plan," he told the Examiner. "And the rest of it could come out of food stamps as well as the privileges that are being spread out for individuals that haven't worked in 3 generations."

" We have actually got to place The U.S.A. back to function, this administration will do it," King said.

A spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood stated the group "receives federal funding similarly as each medical facility or community health care company: via Medicaid compensations," including that King's comments make no feeling."

yes if you do not go to school or trade school or build up your work experience you should be in the field picking fruit and washing dishes at restaurants. Just think how racist your comment sounds. You sound like someone defending slavery, if we free the slaves nobody is going to pick the cotton.

PREPARE YOURSELF! – Have you considered the idea of supply and demand? A lot of companies are unwilling to pay decent wages. Even USA’s craptastic minimum wage is not low enough for them, so they pull in cheap illigals. Add the fact that the work environment and conditions tends to be craptastic if not outright dangerous…, if not inhumane… I can’t blame people for not wanting these destructive jobs.
If you really want to put an end to this debacle, force congress to up minimum wages. Force congress to apply this minimum wage to anyone and everyone, so that hiring illigals is no longer economically attractive. And force congress to damn well finally properly regulate working conditions, because what is being practised often borders slavery.

But even then, in rural area’s, there’s the issue of proximity. There’s no point in taking a job if it takes you ages to get there and most of the pay gets gobbled up by transportation. Moving, more often than not, is not an option either.

Unless you believe people should prefer being treated as slaves over taking wellfare?

And in case you’e wondering… No, I am not exaggerating the average working conditions of illigals. I don’t doubt there are plenty illegals with decent jobs, but over all… It’s a disaster.

orderoutofchaos621 maybe but its a misleading stat as the large majority of the worlds population lives in poverty-Marx for one praises capitalism for some of its achievements but predicts that its fundamental flaws means that its doomed,it will bend until it breaks-in that at least he is 100% right

Happy – Wrong – Although a useful deterrent against raids, at several points throughout its history the Great Wall failed to stop enemies, including in 1644 when the Manchu Qing marched through the gates of Shanhai Pass and replaced the most ardent of the wall-building dynasties, the Ming, as rulers of China.

Who cares about ice age USA is going strait to stone age .
Time to polish those saddles when West Virginia wont have roads soon .
You can get some steam powered locomotive going with all that coal no one wants to buy.

No, I already looked into this to see if it was feasibly. Unfortunately the calcium richness combined with inadequate nutrients in the bone marrow (poor diet) would permeate the concrete walls too quickly. One of the main reasons why Great Wall of China had so many hairline cracks. It’s better if we use their bones as soil amendments for fertilizing our nearby fields.

Queen Queen but, you also described Bernie Sanders there. It’s hard to move beyond race baiting and incorporate intellectualism in arguments, but it’s worth it. I wish you luck in your journey… it actually gets much more interesting once you think a bit.

Christian values would include helping the poor, not starving them to death. These people seem to just use Christianity as an excuse to justify racism and hating gay people. They probably don’t know what Jesus supposedly taught in the Bible.

i can’t believe the atrocious words people use in this comment section against the poor…they are so blinded by their conservative republican bias that they see no wrong in what they say or maybe they do and just don’t have a heart.
”’kill the poor” like that’s gonna solve anything you heartless moron.

Here is what I don’t get; When Rep talk about food stamps, most ppl who use them, are white folks?
So why are ‘white folks’ STILL voting for Rep? They don’t care about you, me (black guy), WOMEN nor helping anyone forward (immigrants too). If you don’t fit the club (Older white men), which Trump is a member of as well-fck off…

“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” Lyndon B. Johnson

I’m sure all the people who are on food stamps and voted for King and Trump will be great patriotic Americans and put their interests last so we can build a wall , lol enjoy eating road kill trump cucks

Manu Leach He said that it’s funny how most people who use welfare/food stamps are kids and the elderly and that of you asked a white person they’d tell you that mainly blacks use it. Finally he stated that this country sucks.

When A Republican threatens the lves of YOUR family, will you still let them live?: I have a vision of thousands of cancer-riddled, uninsurable victims making the choice to get an AR-15, or put on a suicide vest and blow up a congressfool or six instead of just slowly, painfully dying of cancer with no treatment available for their “pre-existing condition.”. If the GOP kills them – for profit – they MUST return the favor. It is well past the point of sociopathy, and into pure psychopathic greed. These are not LEADERS, these are KILLERS. Treat them as such, or suffer for their amusement. I am DONE with the GOP, they are no longer even remotely human.

MilitantAntiTheist this is even atheists like us know that this kind of squeeze the poor feed the rich scumbaggery is about as far from Jesus’ teachings as its possible to be-these sociopathic shitspangles are either totally ignorant or willfully deceptive-probably a little from column A and a little from column B
